YONKERS

1/9: 4w, no bias, it could have been somewhat favoring to closers, although hard to call it a bias with certainty, closers did well, although the races were competitive and the drivers were aggressive and, generally speaking, speed doesn’t hold as well during the winter

LIGHTNING MACH N*** –

Had post 6, followed terrible cover, rallied three wide on the final turn and finished with solid late pace for the show from a tough spot

BORDER CONTROL A –

Left from post 7 and was used hard to the lead past the quarter in :28, yielded, sat the pocket, was blocked behind horses in the stretch and had steady pace

BJ’S GUY –

Followed cover 4^th over from post 6, was three wide on the final turn then swung four wide past the midway point on the turn and finished powerfully to get up on the wire
